Flowers and the Flag


It's midsummer, but the flowers in this yard are still beautiful, and believe me, it takes a lot of work (watering and weeding in heat and humidity) to keep gardens looking healthy around here.

I like the way the American flag is displayed in the center of one of the flower beds.

    It's winter here and everything is growing slowly. Spring time soon though!

  4. Tell me about heat and humidity...I'm about ready to pull everything out and let it go wild.

    I would, too, except I'm afraid my neighbors would also go wild and that would definitely not be good for my health!

  6. Oh, that is pretty! And the flag gives it a nice patriotic flare. I will never have a beautiful yard since I am total death to plants. I have to let God be my gardener. LOL! We planted vincas several years ago and they keep reseeding themselves. I just pull a few weeds and let God do the rest. Thank you for having such a beautiful yard and sharing it with us and the people who pass by! It is a real gift and blessing.

  7. Well Nikki, this isn't my yard; mine's the one above...with the worm in the zinnia! So much for my having a green thumb! LOL

  8. LOL! Janet, I did think that was your yard! All my new stuff that I planted this year ended up being nibbled on. I even went out in the yard with a pellet gun when I suspected the squirrels of doing it, but it turned out to be slugs. Thankfully, no innocent squirrels were killed.
